Coasts around the world face increasing demands to cater for a wide range of recreational activities,with millions of tourists visiting coastal areas each year. Tourism is the world’s third largest industry and the primary economic sector in many regions. As a result, there is increasing competition for the use of resources in coastal waters and beach areas.
Beach activities are becoming more varied, ranging from para-karting to power boating; swimming to sailing and from horse riding to beach barbequing. Many activities, particularly those involving more active participation, require some form of management to reduce potential conflict between different user groups, and trying to cater for such a diverse range of activities can cause difficulties. Not only do conflicts need to be resolved between different users, but differences between locals and tourists also need to be considered. The requirements of local residents differ from those of tourists, and balancing their respective needs is a major contributory factor in successful beach use and management.
Safety and security are increasingly important issues on beaches, and beach operators and local authorities now pay closer attention to the physical safety of individuals and the protection of the natural environment
It is not possible to have easy access to each beach, but all beaches should be made as accessible as possible. Wherever feasible, all beach equipment and facilities provided should be made accessible to all users, including to people with specific needs (e.g. by providing parking with designated places, sanitary services, first aid services, bars and restaurants, and practical information at the beach entrance).
This International Standard considers how best to instil appropriate beach designs into climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction strategies. For example, coastal flooding and erosion will continue to occur as the frequency of severe flooding events is likely to increase with the onset of climate change and increased storminess. Beach infrastructure damage, however, often only occurs when one exposes items of value to coastal processes (e.g. building too close to high tide mark). The lack of formal building regulation and development control is a significant issue, especially with regard to the appropriate construction of beach facilities.BS ISO 13009 pdf free download.
